IMEVVr JERSEY. I . i Message ol Gororaor Parker. ! The extraordinary length oi Governor Parker'a final roesfiage, of which we are able to publish only the Important parts to-day. Is the most re , rnarkable featnre or the document; but if, the i patience of the Leeiflatnre, to which it la ad dressed, gave way alter hearing a few passages, what will be expected of the newspapers and the reading public, whose endurance It -so seriously challenges t Long as It appears, however, the . subjects are so vast and varied that the. prolixity i may be pardoned In view Of the peculiar circum Btanoofi and partisan complications which have surrounded his administration. At anyrato.1t may be safely said that Governor Parker will be as dlBtineuiahed henceforth among our Governors ' as was Mr. Folic among our Presidents, for the length of his messages. i Our State finances appear to bs In a most pros 'porous condition, and no tax for ordinary State purposes will be necessary during the present year. A debt of ' $M20, existing when the . Governor entered hi ofnee, has been discharged. and $161,461 aenmulnted to the credit of the State Fund. The State bonds for war purposes have been carefully managed, and produced a premium of $101,023. The war debt Is $2,818,119, but will be redticed.to about two millions on the receipt of claims on the United States. The i debts of the counties, townships, and cities, in curred for bounties and war expenses, are enormous, and will become extremely onerous, unlcaa a tut system of taxation be adopted. A tax on shares in National banks is recommended. The exemption of United States bonds from taxes imposes a greater burden on other pro perty, and though he considers it unjust, he is lor sustaining the contract. The various State institutions appear to have been prosperous, except the State Prison, wnieh has run behind by. $13,724. This should be looted ftftcr Conaress is warned against interfering with the Stale's right to control its own railway lines, and informed that the Stats has not exceeded its authority in that respect. The number of men mustered into the Unite! States service to the first of last May was 79,3-18, being; a greater number than there were able- ' bodied men between the ages of eighteen and "fortvfive at the commencement of the war. 1 The Governor finally devotes a large space to an exhibition of his political views acknow ledging the abolition of slavery, which he would have preferred to accomplish more gradually; ' denouncing negro sufhaze: he denies that toe States could secede, and being always in the , Union, tbey are entitled to representation in Con- ' gress. Newark Advertiser, last evening. A Novel Law Suit , An interesting cape is about to be determined at the Kebruary term of the Court of Chancery ' in this State. The facts in the case are these: Under the last call of the President (December 19, 1864) for 300,000 men, the quota of the North Ward of the city of Camden was 124 men. To raise these men a drafted men's association was lormed, and the City Council voted $400 for each drafted man. Thomas McKean and Samuel B. Garrison, citizens of Camden, volunteered their services to free the Ward from draft, and assisted in raising a very considerable sum of money. After the quota was tilled, there remained a sur plus fund of $3050. This sum properly belonged to the drafted men who had filled tho quota; but by a resolu tion surreptitiously passed. Messrs. McKean and Garrlhon pretended to claim the amount of money ($3060) for the purpose of establishing a Dispensary. The dratted men do not object to the Dispensary, but they object to the use of their money, which properly belongs to each drafted man pro rata, to establish any institu tion in the organization of which they have no voice. Some of the dratted m on are in necessi tous circumstance, and some few oi tnem have died, leaving their families dependant upon the city. The case creates much interest in Cam den. James M. Scovcl and George S. Wooihull, Esqs., represent the drafted men, and A. Browning and William D. Cooper, Ksqs., renre- " eent McKean and Garrison. Newark Advertiser, last evening. i ,.- Execution of Ellsworth, the Negro Mur derer. From the Same Paper. Morris Ellsworth, the colored man, who was convicted of the deliberate murder of his wife in a fit of iealousy on the 29th of August last, Buf fered the extreme penalty of the law upon the gallows this morning at the Essex County Jail, In the presence of a large number of spectators. The circumstances of his crime were so recently published, that a full recapitulation is unneces sary now. It will be remembered that the two had been attending a ball near the theatre. Anna, his wife, being unwell, withdrew about midnight to her grandmother's, No. 96 Market street, whither Ellsworth followed, and during an altercation presented a pistol at her bead and fired, in the presence of several witnesses, causing death. The murderer fled but was arrested before Teaching the street, and alter the usual prelimi nary investigations be was tried at the October term of our court. He was defended on the plea of Insanltv, but the Jury pronounced him guilty of murder in the first degree, and he was sen tenced to be hung on the 21st ultimo. His coun sel renewed their exertions and endeavored to procure a commutation of the sentence to con finement In the Lunatic Asylum, and finally the Governor granted a reprieve till January 10 for a medical examination. The Court of Pardons subsequently met, and after taking the evidence of the physicians and visiting tht prisoner, thev refused to commute toe sentence, on the ground that he was capable of distinguishing between right and wrong, and acted with a full know ledge of his crime. The prisoner, whose cell was in sieht of the gallons, was moved during the day to another apartment, and was engaged with his faithful pastor, Rev. Mr. Manning, when his visitors en tered. He rose and greeted them with a melan choly smile. He was very communicative, and apou request gave a full history of his life. He stated that he was born in llergen township, 1 Bergen county, N. J., and would be twenty-three years old on the 9th of next J uly. At the age of eight years His leg was broken, and the wound turned to a white swelling, confining him to the house for six or sevan years. Alter that he was laid up for ten months troui a cut in the leg. Subsequently, he said, he was accidentally struck on the head with a stone thrown by his brother. His account of this Inst accident was somewhat remarkable and incoherent, a he declared 1 he fctone stuck in his head, and he drove it still further in by runnine against a tree that when the stone was taken out by the doctor it left his brain exposed, and he "had never been right in his head since." When h-? recovered he entered the annv, as a servant, in the 7th regiment New Jersey Volunteers, remained there two years and a half, returned in ckurg-! of General Patterson's horses, and again went out with the 21st New Jersey Volunteers, and after nine months' ser vice was sent home, his leg having become sore again. He then gave a long account of his meeting with Anna Pearson, his marriage to her, and his domestic troubles. She was a light mulatto, about eighteen year ot age, and they were mar ried h Dominie Taylor, of South Bergen. Ac cording to his account his wile was unfaithful nH n ve him a. m-eiit deal of trouble. He Hindi v enlisted in the 2lst Pennsylvania Regiment, but on arriving at Philadelphia was taken sick and discharged. On cominz back he tound his wife at , Bloomfleld, and brought her to Newark, lAiivina hpr r br brother's house. He worked two months for Meeker Hedden; three months for Mr. Miller in Halsey street; andwasthn employed as watchman at Crump's garden, where hp remained till the time ot the murder. . n hd hnt little to sav with reeard to the , deed, merely stating that it was done in a mo ment of frenzy; that he was insane, and had been made so by her treatment working upon a hrln that hud never Ivcn entirely riyht since receiving the luiury In childhood. He doolared that he alwavs loved his wife fondly, and felt that he could not live without hr. but she was not onlv addicted to drink, but was also unfaitti ful to him. Before leaving him he desired his visitors to say that bo had received every Mud THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY. 11,-1806. ess from Sheriff Rlcord and Captatn Ritchie, and that the clergymen above named had been unremitting In their attention to him. He satd he should try to meet his fate like a roan, and that he should die in the hope of a blessed Im mortality. During the Interview Ellsworth was unmoved till Just aa the visitors left him, when he shed a few tears. It was evident that he had been buoyed up with the hope of pardon during hit Imprisonment, and still had a lingering Dope that he should escape the gallows. The clergy left the condemned at about mid night. He slept much as usual, and partook of some refreshment this morning, but seemed ner vous and depressed, and expressed an ardent desire to see his mother. 1 le was visited early this morning by the Rev. Messrs. Manning and Thompson, who remained with him to the last. Several other clereymen visited him In his cell during the forenoon, and gave him spiritual con solation. . At 10 o'clock the Sheriff and his deputies pro ceeded in a body from the Court House to the jail. The srates of the prison were then opened, and those having tickets to witness the execu tion were admitted, and the hall, which is an apartment about 80 feet by 25, was soon - filled. The prisoncts In the cells lacing the hall Docked to the barred doors and eased down upon the scene with much interest, the most of them preserving good order. Sheriff Ricord's arrangements were perfect; there was little con fusion, everv officer knowinir his part and Der- forming it according to strict instructions issued by the Sheriff the day previous. THl O ALLOWS, At 12-10 a procession was formed, and headed by the Sheritf.marched into the other hall under tne gaiiows. xne uu nappy man warned steadily and took his place under the rooe. where he stood composedly while the Sheriff read the sen tence of the court, the reprieve, and the death warrant. The Sheriff then asked him if be had anything to say before the sentence of the law was executed. Ellsworth made a few remarks in a low tone of voice, commencing by rr-turaing thanks to the Sheriff, his officers, and the clergy for their kindness. He then said he was reudy to die and meet his Saviour, begged all present to take warning by his fearful end, and closed bv repeat ing several times, "Meet me In heaven." The Rev. Mr. Thompson read a chanter from the Scriptures, after which the Rev. Dr. Parker made a feeling praver, commending the unhappy man to the mercy of the Redeemer. During the prayer Ellsworth stood calmly, making no move ment, save a nervous shaking of the head. At the close of the prayar he shook hands with the bhcritl and the clergymen, saying " Farewell, farewell, meet me in heaven," and his last words were "O, Lord! remember me." . THE EXECUTION. The cod w as then drawn over his eves, and the Sheriff in a firm voice announced that he was about executing the sentence of the law uoon the prisoner. Morris Ellsworth , and then com mending his soul to God. touched the trisirer that held the weights, and Ellsworth went to meet his Maker. The weijrhts fell at 1219. Ellsworth strugaled f really tor some two or three minutes, evidently vine hard and from strangulation. The pulsa tions were as lollows: At two minutes 120, three minutes 140, tour minutes 92, lour and a halt minutes 83, and ceased entirely in about five minutes. The bodv was cut down in about fifteen min utes, ana was aiven to physicians, who held a post mortem this afternoon. Tho brain was found to be in a periectly Healthy condition. MATTERS OVER THE RIVER. ROBBEBY OX TDK HIGHWAY. About hall-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, a man, giving his name as Painter before the Mayor, stated that 1)0 was knocked down and robbed of his pocket-book, containing some thirty dollars. He satd that, as he was passing up Bridge avenue at the time mentioned, he saw a man and a woman approaching him, and when be met them the woman turned and knocked him on the head with a billy, knocking htm down. The man then eamo to her assistance, and succeeded in relievins him ot his pocket-book, containin the thirty dollars. The robbers then fled. Mr . Painter's lace was badly cut, and although of fBcers were immediately sent in search of the illainB, they made their escape. The affair cre ated quite an excitement. Geological. The Commissioners ap pointed to make a geological survey of the State, oi which rion.

Academy of Music L'Aj'ricaine, with its cho ruses made grandor, of course tilled the house. The matinee had already crowded the house a lew hours berore to hear the pet tenor, Habulmann. His recep tion was enthusiastic, although, or orhaps because, most of the audience were ladies. He is in admira ble voice, and the renowned "Robin Adair" was ot course encored. The opera was all through ex ceedingly well sung. It was quite tantalizing to hear but so little of Hermanns, but we hope, and we have a presentiment, thai we shall have a short sea son of German opera. This evening Bellini's opera of I Puritani will be produced. Vicenzo Bellini has writton three ot the most popular, impressive and olt-repeatd operas of the eenturv. La Somnambula. Xormn, and tbe Pun- tani. His other operas La Stranlera, H Pirata, and Beatrice di' Teuda are little known to the present generation. I Puritani was writton lor a quatuor of artists that is known still in operatic anna s as the Puritani quartette, Lablache, fambnrmi, Eublnl and Giulietta Grisl. The opera was prodncod in Paris at the Italian opera, In the rear 1834 At the openiug of the season of the next year, In Sep tember, 1835, Vicenzo Boliini, iu the very height of his glory, expired m tbe twenty-ninth year of bis age, bavins aohioved immortality at an ago when few have begun to take a po ltlon in life. J Puritani was played every night, w Ithout inter ruption, for a whole t-cason in Parii after its lirst production. At Bellini's funeral a lachrymose was cunt, without accompaniment, by Rubint, Tranotr, Tarnburini, and Lablache ou the musical theme of the tenor solo, in J Puritani, "Ella e si misera. This evening we bare tine artists, who will, no doubt, do justice to the music. The melodies of this opera are lamillar to all. "Von Virgin" and "Qui la voce" for soprano, ''A to o cara" tor tbe tenor, and the celebrated liberty duett have attained popu larity in all iorms. Bellini's maslo is eminently Italian melodious, tender, and Impassioned com prtbenstble to ai. Walmut 8tket Theatre. Mrs i.Johu Wood p'ajed "Pocahontas" last night to a fine house. This lad 's 6ne Otrure and exceedingly lovely face, ber grace, her sood humor, ber splendid wardrobe, all have made her, and deser redly, a most popular aotress. Mrs. Wood is a good musician and knows how to sing, but unfortunately her voice, whioh never was powerful, bat deserted ber, so that she wltf have to give up vocal rnusto altoaether. Leaving 11 rs. Wood out of the questiru, we must say we have -never seen such an absurd and dlsirraouful perform ance for a Srst-class theatre. Mr. Fawcett Is lost the moment the orohestra begins, and wanders about in an unmusical foe till It stops. Mr. Walcott has aot a vestige of humor, and Mr. Greene (as the Dutch man) was perfectly incompetent to the part. Tbe gettmg-np was shabby, especially as all the ballet fitrls art wn-beautUul (not to say aly V dirtily dressed, and awkward. We searoely think a star Is Justified In riving so little of ber brilliancy as Mrs. Wood, condemning one for the rest of the eveninc to tbe mercies of the stock oompany, which, with bat one or two exceptions, Is, at this theatre, noth ing bnt a mass of utilities. Arch Stokm Thkat. or in London will be given for the last time this eveninc at this theatre. On Friday, for Mrs. Drew's benefit, The Needful, a comedy very successful la New York, will be tlvea. Kkw Cheshut Street Thxatrb. Ihe Phantom and Ihe Sleeping Beauty will be given in dolightful contrast every evening this week. "Ihb Evenikq Programme." We are pleased to learn from the subjoin d that the little evening paper called The Programme, served every night at our peaces of amusement, has proved so satisfac tory to the thoatiioal managers that they bavo re sowed their contracts with the proprietor :-r Philadelphia.

Dear (Sir; We, the managers of the Philadel phia theatres, take this opportunity to express our satisfaction with tbe perfect and punctual manner in which The Evening Programme has been dolivored to us, and in view of your arrangements we agree to take The Evening Programme as the bill of perform ance in use In our theatres tor the ensuing year.

Cox, late member of Congress irom Ohio, and leader ot tbe Demociatio side ot tbe Houso, will deliver his lecture on "Irish Wit and Humor." Whatever dif ference there may exist in regard to the political views er Mr. Cox, no one can question his Inimitable flow of wit. Hi great speech in the House relative to the battle of Bull Bun was a fair sample of the talent he possesses. So humorous and ridiculous was it that a challenge trom Senator Wade was the re sult. His lecture to-night is his best, It having been everywhere greeted with the utmost enthusiasm. We advise all to attend, as there can be no question but that a most pleasant evening's entertainment will be offered at the Musical Fund to-night. CITY INTELLIGENCE.
